Couldn't find any South American Painted-Snipe lurking in the reed edges so did it the "Wath Ings" way!
The wet boots were worth it😁, 6 flushed.

Siberian Chiffchaff at Seamer Sewage Farm this morning. Gave a nice "peep" call. Found by @sj84turner.bsky.social two days ago but remained silent at the time.

Great Grey Shrike in Harwood Dale Forest this afternoon. Well done to the finders Nick Gibbons & Rob Stark on a BTO winter survey. Kept its distance.

SHETLAND trip started well with great views of the 1w male SIBERIAN THRUSH at Loch of Asta. Leaking wellies were an issue for a few on this twitch!😬. Now for a week on Out Skerries.

Another failed attempt to find anything in the gullies yesterday but did manage a patch first...BASKING SHARK sailed south mid-morning. A ringtail Hen Harrier north over the sea was a bonus.
